[Dx-qsl] Belarus QSLs & EU1UN

Wed Jan 1 11:51:03 2003

Hi Tony et al--

As an additional note on the Belarus QSL situation, I sent a direct 
QSL request with GS tucked into a SAE to EU1UN in mid-October and had 
it returned, complete with GS, by the Belarus Postal System near the 
end of November. I still can't figure out why it was returned since I 
checked Serge's address with QRZ.com, Buckmaster, and Multiply Search 
( http://www.ampr.spb.ru/multi/index.html ) and they all confirmed 
the same address. More to the point, it was returned intact in a 
timely manner.

While I've got the floor, anyone know the best way to get a card to EU1UN?
